Making A Real Difference.
This has been a long time coming, and it is coming from my heart. I am caught somewhere in between writing a “note to self” and a “to whom it may concern“.
Being unable to blog for a couple of months (seems like years to me) have been one of the most uncomfortable feeling to me. Events have passed rapidly, sometimes too rapidly, thoughts have popped up in my mind, I was able to capture some on my notepad, while others fleeted away, I have gained some things and lost a few, and most importantly, I have experienced a bit more of life than I had the last time I posted here.
Life is full of ups and downs, but blessed are those who have friends who can accompany them through the lows and bring them through to the highs. I am one of such and from the bottom of my heart, I am grateful for such friends.
From Samuel John who helped me with my website issues, (which were quite much) to Timothy Oreoluwa, which is not his surname, but sounds just cool enough, who we’ve shared a couple of ideas, to Olaoluwa Ọjọ who did help a lot and more importantly brought his cute baby to the office and I was privileged to carry her. And she did smile at me and made me have “baby fever”.
Oluwaseun Abodunde who has been a great friend in recent years, my not too many friends who I am resisting the urge to list out right here and now, and Peace, who has been the kind of friend I need in times like this.
Greater things are ahead of us all, and I know we’ll witness them together.
From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful to you all.

3 weeks ago by mardlifetv Frenemies - 2Baba × Waje (SONG Of The Day) Frenemies. We've all got them. Wish we didn't. Hope we don't. Pray to loose them, but we've got them still. Frenemies. They occupy that interlocking sector of friendship and enmity. Not accidentally, rather surreptitiously. They come around, pretending to be friends, trying to extract everything they can from you. They smile with you, laugh with you, hoping they'll eventually get to laugh at you. Judas to Jesus. Brutus to Caesar. Delilah to Samson. The annals of history is filled with stories of Frenemies. As much as we'll like to watch our

2 weeks ago by mardlifetv Gaslighting (Word For The Week) Gaslighting means to manipulate someone psychologically, making them question their own sanity, particularly by leading them to doubt their own experiences or perceptions of reality. Gaslight is a word I read on one of my recent reads, but it is something I have witnessed being done repeatedly. It is easy to assume we are all normal, but it is tricky recognizing the psychopaths amidst us. You have a friend or acquaintance. You are used to seeing them being "happy go lucky". You hardly meet them without a smile on their face. Their confidence is noticeable
3 weeks ago by mardlifetv To The One That Almost Was (Sincerely Yours) Love, they say is something you can't control, nor stop. Maybe I am the exception to that. I don't know when I started loving you, but I do know that I just could not stop loving you. But that was until I stopped. I miss you. I miss us. I miss our friendship. But I hate our friendship. Our friendship blinded me to the love I had for you. I believed it was normal. Whenever it seem to be getting intense, I brought it under control. We were both single, we were
3 weeks ago by mardlifetv ...While Rome Burned (Rhetorics) There is a saying that accompanies a story I read as a kid. "While Rome burned, Nero fiddled". Is that the best way to describe Nigeria and her leaders? From Boko Haram militants choosing where and when to attack without a bother about Governmental response, to armed herdsmen choosing the choicest farmland for their grazing needs knowing there will be no retributory nor punitive action, to armed bandits ceding a portion of the Kaduna Abuja highway to themselves, knowing the government of the day is not interested in as little as a show of force. Where
3 weeks ago by mardlifetv Asa is the gift that keeps giving. She is one artist that can tackle serious issues in fun ways, keeping you hooked on every element of the song while ensuring you are fully entertained. Good Thing is a classic example of this. On Good Thing, the song in itself talks about refusing to be treated sub-humanly because of your flaws and insecurities. It encourages you to take charge of your life and demand the respect you deserve. Anyone who will constantly mention to you that they could do better than you, be with someone better than you or they are
3 weeks ago by mardlifetv The Root Of Ruth (The Women I Love) This is the story of me and Ruth. Not Ruth Abokoku, but Ruth the class captain. I can't overstate this, MB is the most beautiful girl I have ever met, Ruth comes a close second. If MB is Dark and Lovely, then Ruth is Dark and Shining. Immediately the teaching assistant stepped out of the class, Ruth held my hand. Looking around, she dragged me to her seat and said "it seems you are the last student to register. I thought registration have even closed. There is no more vacant seat, so
3 weeks ago by mardlifetv Starting Over - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis × Ben Birdwell (Song Of The Day) Addiction is a battle a lot of people are fighting. Getting clean is celebrated by many. Relapsing is often a setback that breaks many. Starting over. That is one step that many are unable to take. Looking around, drug addiction is a prevalent problem in my society. Honestly, it has never been this bad. What's worse? It seems no one has an idea when this phase of drug misuse, dependence and abuse creeped up on us. I've always known people who did all kinds of drugs,

3 weeks ago by mardlifetv Stock Taking means to go through ones wares, finding out what you have surplus of, enough of and what is lacking. Stock taking is a practice adopted by traders to ensure they are never caught unaware by a demand for any item. Producers of goods also do the same for their raw materials. As stock taking will help them but new resources before they are totally finished and halt production. As we get into the 'ember months, which marks the beginning of the end of the year, it is time for you to begin stock taking of your life. Take
